Bushmaster 90242 Target 30+1 223REM/5.56NATO 20"

Bushmaster has done it again. A very well made AR15 platform with a great fit and finish. I've been a fan of Bushmaster for six years and have not been disappointed. Bushmaster is offering a $150 rebate for most of their rifles. This is $750 from Buds, minus the $150 rebate my final price is $600. We haven't seen prices like that since 2007 before little O's election.

I chose the AR15A2 rifle for many reasons. I really like the look, the fixed carry handle and butt stock, 20" chromed barrel.

I added the Osprey OPS-420 gas piston system for rifle and Magpul forend and pistol grip. Once the OPS-420 is installed you will need to trim the heat shield on the lower half of the forend to accommodate the gas piston system. A few minutes with a Dremel and you're done.

This is nice shooting and very accurate.

I ordered this rifle during lunch on a Thursday. My FFL dealer called me at 3:20 on Friday to let me know the weapon had arrived. Hats off to Buds on this feat. Plus, the Buds price and availability.

This is a very fine weapon. Extremely tight machining by Bushmaster. The furniture fits tight, too. I imagine this Bushmaster weapon is a better value than the equivalent Colt model, which you cannot find. I wish Bushmaster would toss in a rifle sling, but that is small potatoes (and personal whining) compared to what you do get from Bushmaster. Great price, very prompt shipping. No buyer's remorse on my part for the Bushmaster rifle or Buds service and pricing. I win on this purchase!!!

Great Rifle! Looks just like a military M16A2 and that's what I was looking for. Buds service and prices can't be beat!!

Bought the rifle in early 2015 for around $880. The first time I took it to the range, it jammed on nearly every round and I had to pry the empty casings from the chamber with a cleaning rod. Called Bushmaster, they sent me a return label, and I received the repaired rifle a couple weeks later - didn\'t cost me a dime. As it turned out, the chamber was not correctly sized (neck was a bit too small), which caused the fired rounds to FTE. I took the rifle to the range a second time and put a few hundred rounds through it - no malfunctions whatsoever. It\'s definitely an awesome piece of equipment, and I\'m very happy with my purchase.

Initially, I was somewhat pissed with the rifle, but Bushmasters customer service was excellent and they repaired the rifle free of charge (even shipping). I have no complaints about Buds. It was a smooth transaction and I received the rifle in a prompt manner.

Buds was the only place That had this particular model and the price was excellent. Like all my previous orders it was shipped quickly and was exactly as described. As for the weapon itself it's the closest thing I've found to the M16A2 I carried in the Army.

Great transaction. Bushmaster 90242 was just what I was looking for. Buds was the only store that had it in stock and a good price to boot. Ordered on 1-26-15 and had the rifle in my little grubbies on 2-4-2015. Paid with Tellers Check to get best deal from Buds. Excellent communication during the whole process.

What a Great quality rifle at a spectacular price. Fit and finish is great. Nice presentation box, sling one mag, instructions. My wife and I liked it so much we purchased two. Highly recommend bushmaster 90242 A2. Sleek design, no frills get it done rifle. If you want to add gadgets, do-dads, lights and lasers or a scope; this is not for you. If you want reliable iron sights and the velocity a chrome lined 20" barrel can provide for the 55-62gr projectile. This is it. very Pleased.
Thank you.

Bought this one for my daughter to shoot. She is hitting 2" groupings at 100yds with the iron sights after a little adjusting just fine. We have fired about 1,000 rounds so far, and have not had a single misfire or jam as of yet with Federal .223 (55grain). Buds shipped quickly, and I am very happy with the purchase all around.

Exactly what I was looking for. I wanted an AR15 A2 just like the ones we carried back in the day when I was in the Marines in 1980 except those were Colts (matel at first). Nail driver right out of the box just like everyone says and the attention to detail and quality built into the rifle which exceeded my expectations since I was expecting to see a drop of the quality of Bushmaster compared to Colt, but I was wrong. I knew right when I took it out of the box that it was just like coming home and having the rifle I fell in love with in the Corps given back to me and after five thousand rounds put through it, my opinion hasnt changed a bit. Thanks so much Bud's.
